Officer Tells Immigration Law Changes
Kenneth F. Temple, public relations officer for the Los Angeles ofifce of the United States Immigration service, pointed out the differences between the new Mc-Carran Immigration act and the old act yesterday at a meeting of the Intercultural club.
Most important change under the new act Is a requirement that a student have a working knowledge of English before he enters this country.
Another change requires a student’s passport to be dated six months beyond the time he actually intends to spend in this country. The old act of 1924 required a 60-day period.
Under the new law, no age limit is imposed. “If the student is old enough to walk and can pass the other requirements, he can come over,” Temple said. Previously a student had to be at least 15 years old.
Foreign students may not change schools and nf&y not work during school or in summers without permission of the district immigration director of foreign students.
Various other changes were explained and questions from the group were answered by the officer.
The lecture is part of a series now being sponsored by the Intercultural club each Tuesday afternoon kt 3:15 in the international lounge.

QUEEN MARY . . . grand old lady
Queen Mary Dies in Sleep
LONDON, Mar. 24 — ,(UP)— Dowager Queen Mary, Grand Old Lady of the British Empire whose life extended from the age of Lances and Sabers to the Atomic Era, died tonight in her sleep at Marlborough House.
The 85-year-old Grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II, whose coronation will be held in June, died at 10:20 p.m. after a long illness.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced her death in the House of Commons at 11:11 p.m. and the House adjourned immediately to mourn the once tall, proud ■ woman who devoted her life to her country.
Gastric Ailment
The Queen had been suffering from a gastric ailment since before Christmas. She lapsed into a coma this afternoon, except for brief intervals when members of the royal family entered her room in Marlborough House and curtsied low before her bed.
“While sleeping peacefully, Queen Mary died at twenty minutes past ten o’clock (5:20 ¿p.m. EST),” a bulletin issued at Marlborough House announced.
After encouraging reports earlier this week on the progress of her illness, the indomitable old Queen’s condition took a sudden turn for the worse yesterday.
Medical reports today said her strength was ebbing fast, and the Archbishop of Canterbury and members of the Royal Family were summoned to her bedside.
House to Adjourn
Churchill told the house that immediately after prayers for the Dowager Queen tomorrow he would move an address of condolence to Queen Elizabeth. He said he then would propose the House adjourn thereafter until Thursday as an expression of profound sorrow and distress.
Queen Elizabeth and other members of the Roy^i Family were informed of the death of their beloved grandmother and mother before the notice was posted on the bulletin before Marlborough house.
The bulletin was posted outside Marlborough House at 11:15 p.m.
A crowd of some 500, that had waited patiently through the damp London day, surged forward and police struggled vainly to hold them in check.
Students to Give Children's Party
SC students will advance the clock 10 days and bring Easter early to the children at Lake-thrope Juvenile hall tomorrow atfernoon when they give them their annual Easter party from 2:15 to 4:30 p.m. '
Lenore Monosson, entertainment chairman, asked all SC students to participate in the event which is being sponsored by the campus Red Cross. Students should meet at the Alpha Epsilon Phi house at 1:15.

Pie-Throwing, Salary Bills Also on Agenda
by Charlie Barnett
Proposed amendments which should get more candidates for ASSC president and secretary will probably provide the main interest at the ASSC Senate meeting tonight. One amendment would lower the scholastic requirements and remove the sex qualifications for students running for those
offices.
A monthly salary for the president and secretary are provided for in the other proposition.
The third major proposal on the agenda, however, might have a slightly adverse effect upon the ASSC prexy. The revival of the pie throwing contest during Trojan chest week will be'’asked by Trojan Chest Chairman Bill Ro-sensweig. Last year the ASSC president was one of the biggest money makers on the receiving end of pies.
Enough Names
AMS President George Gonzales expects to have more than the required 1003 names of the petition to bring his grade-point-lowering amendment before the students.
If the petition is presented and declared valid, the Senate must provide a special ASSC election within three school week* to give the students a chance to approve or disapprove the amendment.
Need 1.5 Average
Under the present constitution all SC candidates must have a 1.5 cumulative average and a 1.5 average the semester before election. The president must be a man; the vice-president and secretary must be women.
Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Gonzales proposal would remove the sex requirements from the offices of president, vice-president, and secretary respectively.
The fourth section would lower the grade point requirements to 1.0 cumulative and 1.3 the semester before candidacy.
Petition Method
The All-U party and other proponents of the amendment turned
to the petition method of bringing the issue before the students after the Senate at its last meeting refused to put the proposal on the ballot.
Tony Ward, Greater University chairman, will introduce an amendment providing for a salary for the ASSC president and secretary. The president would receive $65 a month and the secretary $30 a month for a ten month period.
Ward will also submit a formal constitution of the Greater university committee for Senate approval.
The pie throwing is not wasting food, Rosensweig said, because day-old pies which are being donated for the contest and they will be disposed of anyway.
SPIRITS HIGH
English Views Of America To Be Told
“English sentiment is not anti-American as rumored,” Dr. Bruce R. McElderry, professor of English, said yesterday in a prespeech interview.
At the invitation of LAS, Dr. McElderry will give a report on England in the Art and Lecture room of Doheny library at 3:15 thisi afternoon.
Dr. McElderry returned in November from a one year sabbatical leave in England and Europe. While in England he did extensive research on the works of Wordsworth and Coleridge.
Progressive Spirit
“British spirit is far from low, in fact it is tremendously progressive, and pro-American,” the professor of English said.
During his lecture, L>r. McElderry plans to present his views and impressions of England, its progress, rationing problems, and opinions concerning a third world war.
Dr. McElderry came to SC in 1946 from Washington Stafe, where he taught for 10 years. He is a professor of American literature and was vice-president of the University Faculty senate.
He attended Grinnel college, Western Reserve university in Cleveland, and received his doctor’s degree from Iowa university.
Compiles War Material
He was a historical officer with the Air Transport command during the war and was stationed in London for one year. Dr. McElderry, as historical officer, kept a record of events which have since been combined with material furnished by other officers into a history of the war.
The last lecture in this series will be Apr. 22, Chairman Marilou Moehlin announced. It will include a “Report on Thailand” by Frances L. Spain, professor of library science; and a “Report on Japan’: by Rodger Swearingen, assistant professor of International Relations.
THESE STUDENTS probably would vote "no" on the amendment before the Senate tonight to approve a pie-throwing contest to be held to raise funds during the Trojan Chest drive. Pies to be used will be a day old so that there will be no waste.

Queen Elizabeth and other members of the Roy^i Family were informed of the death of their beloved grandmother and mother before the notice was posted on the bulletin before Marlborough house.
The bulletin was posted outside Marlborough House at 11:15 p.m.
A crowd of some 500, that had waited patiently through the damp London day, surged forward and police struggled vainly to hold them in check.

Pie-Throwing, Salary Bills Also on Agenda
by Charlie Barnett
Proposed amendments which should get more candidates for ASSC president and secretary will probably provide the main interest at the ASSC Senate meeting tonight. One amendment would lower the scholastic requirements and remove the sex qualifications for students running for those
offices.
A monthly salary for the president and secretary are provided for in the other proposition.
The third major proposal on the agenda, however, might have a slightly adverse effect upon the ASSC prexy. The revival of the pie throwing contest during Trojan chest week will be'’asked by Trojan Chest Chairman Bill Ro-sensweig. Last year the ASSC president was one of the biggest money makers on the receiving end of pies.
Enough Names
AMS President George Gonzales expects to have more than the required 1003 names of the petition to bring his grade-point-lowering amendment before the students.
If the petition is presented and declared valid, the Senate must provide a special ASSC election within three school week* to give the students a chance to approve or disapprove the amendment.
Need 1.5 Average
Under the present constitution all SC candidates must have a 1.5 cumulative average and a 1.5 average the semester before election. The president must be a man; the vice-president and secretary must be women.
Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Gonzales proposal would remove the sex requirements from the offices of president, vice-president, and secretary respectively.
The fourth section would lower the grade point requirements to 1.0 cumulative and 1.3 the semester before candidacy.
Petition Method
The All-U party and other proponents of the amendment turned
to the petition method of bringing the issue before the students after the Senate at its last meeting refused to put the proposal on the ballot.
Tony Ward, Greater University chairman, will introduce an amendment providing for a salary for the ASSC president and secretary. The president would receive $65 a month and the secretary $30 a month for a ten month period.
Ward will also submit a formal constitution of the Greater university committee for Senate approval.
The pie throwing is not wasting food, Rosensweig said, because day-old pies which are being donated for the contest and they will be disposed of anyway.
SPIRITS HIGH
English Views Of America To Be Told
“English sentiment is not anti-American as rumored,” Dr. Bruce R. McElderry, professor of English, said yesterday in a prespeech interview.
At the invitation of LAS, Dr. McElderry will give a report on England in the Art and Lecture room of Doheny library at 3:15 thisi afternoon.
Dr. McElderry returned in November from a one year sabbatical leave in England and Europe. While in England he did extensive research on the works of Wordsworth and Coleridge.
Progressive Spirit
“British spirit is far from low, in fact it is tremendously progressive, and pro-American,” the professor of English said.
During his lecture, L>r. McElderry plans to present his views and impressions of England, its progress, rationing problems, and opinions concerning a third world war.
Dr. McElderry came to SC in 1946 from Washington Stafe, where he taught for 10 years. He is a professor of American literature and was vice-president of the University Faculty senate.
He attended Grinnel college, Western Reserve university in Cleveland, and received his doctor’s degree from Iowa university.
Compiles War Material
He was a historical officer with the Air Transport command during the war and was stationed in London for one year. Dr. McElderry, as historical officer, kept a record of events which have since been combined with material furnished by other officers into a history of the war.
The last lecture in this series will be Apr. 22, Chairman Marilou Moehlin announced. It will include a “Report on Thailand” by Frances L. Spain, professor of library science; and a “Report on Japan’: by Rodger Swearingen, assistant professor of International Relations.
THESE STUDENTS probably would vote "no" on the amendment before the Senate tonight to approve a pie-throwing contest to be held to raise funds during the Trojan Chest drive. Pies to be used will be a day old so that there will be no waste.
